Move Furniture by dragging it around with the mouse - not the handles.
Rotate Furniture on floor by dragging red handles in a circular motion. Right-click object and choose "Rotate Left to Right" or "Rotate Front to Back" from the pop-up menu.
Raise or Lower Furniture with the pink handle or enable gravity in edit menu.
Duplicate Furniture
You can duplicate furniture by holding in the Q key and dragging it (Duplicate under Edit menu). Use Repeat Duplicate under the Edit menu to create rows of furniture.
Group Furniture
Group furniture, like dining room tables and chairs, by selecting multiple objects by clicking them with the shift key held in and choose "Group" from the Edit menu. Ungroup them under the Edit menu as well.
Spacing Between Furniture
Use "Dimension" from the Build menu to draw a dimension into your blueprints to see the spacing between objects. You can also use the Tape measure tool from the Build menu to measure quickly.
Apply Fabrics, Colors and Other Materials to Furniture
You may drag-and-drop materials from the directory onto objects. For example, drop fabrics on furniture, wood stains onto cabinets and tile onto countertops. You may also mix colors with materials by dragging in colors from Paint under the Build menu.
